Preview naas 16th Oct
Manieree has to give weight all round if she is to complete a hat-trick in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Garnet Stakes, the feature race at Naas.
John Oxx's filly has blazed a trail en route to two Curragh successes and though she drops in trip for this Listed test, she could be hard to peg back.
Aidan O'Brien has a strong hand with Empowering and Look At Me while Catch The Eye is interesting as she steps up in grade.
Oxx unleashes the newcomer Sambusca in the Tifrums EBF Maiden that gets the meeting under way at 2.10, but as a half-brother to a hurdle winner, the six-furlong trip may be on the sharp side.
Hongkong Dancer made a decent fist of things on his debut and could make his experience tell, though Everything Zain and Call Me Bubbles will make life tough too.
The Aga Khan's Sarinaya represents Oxx in the Irish Stallion Farms EBF Fillies Maiden, but she will have her work cut out to stop Bird's Eye View.
Tommy Stack's filly finished strongly to take third on her debut at the Curragh and any improvement will make her tough to beat.
An intriguing contest over timber looks likely when Donnas Palm and Pittoni lock horns in the Profile Systems Kommerling C70 Hurdle.
Pittoni won easily off a mark of 131 when last tried over timber and has since won twice on the level, but Noel Meade's Donnas Palm is still rated 6lb higher and made a satisfactory comeback in a Tipperary Grade Two last time.
Choir takes on the Ger Lyons duo of Lady Rochford and Greek Canyon in the Derrinstown Stud EBF Birdcatcher Nursery, while Richard Fahey's British raider Tepmokea will be given a stern examination by Bremen and Obligation in the Naas October Handicap.
